   I am trying to find a derogatory term from revolutionary writings for people who purport to have shared goals with the mainstream movement but insist on different tactics.

   Is it "splitters"? It seems right, but I feel like there's a better term, maybe in French.

     "Deviationist" might be what I'm looking for.

     Frondeur and dérogation also seem relevant.

     @bignose that has such a strong meaning in English that's unrelated.
